No wheel expert but from the looks the left wheel looks like it might rub worse than the right with larger tires. The left looks better IMO, I'm not a huge steel wheel fan they are pretty heavy and like to rust especially the first time they rub a rock. Aluminum wheels might break but will never rust. May be coincidence but aluminum wheels seem to hold a bead better. I see steel wheels loose the tire all the time but I've never seen a aluminum wheel. Like to see a real world test on that.
